looking ahead and focusing again on president obama, he gave another anti-obama victory speech in illinois last night. you know, illinois was really a proving ground for mitt romney. we saw those narrow victories in ohio and michigan. so the big question was, could he do better than that, could he have a stronger showing in the midwest, in illinois? and in fact, he did. 47%, a clear winner in the illinois primary after outspending rick santorum 7-1 there. santorum was in second place, he applauded that saying that he won downstate conservatives and the delegate numbers may end up changing because he thinks the republican party will make florida and arizona award their delegates proportionately. as of now they are winner take all. next up is louisiana. santorum is predicting a big win there. he's up about 13% in the polls. interestingly, looking at the exit polls from illinois, we found that people who were super conservatives voted for santorum. those who said they were most concerned about the economy and most concerned about beating president obama, they voted for romney. >> tracie potts
